Biography
Harriet (Lloyd) Hope was born in Worcestershire, England.
Harriet (Lloyd) Hope migrated from Worcestershire to New South Wales.
Harriet (Lloyd) Hope was a centenarian, living to age 105.
Harriet was born on 31 January 1867, in Knightwick, Worcestershire to parents James Lloyd and Mary Ann nee Hall. She was christened in Knightwick, 31 March 1867.[1]
Harriet is the baby in the family group photo.
She lived with her family in Knightwick, where her father was a farm labourer and her mother a seamstress, both worked at Knightwick Manor.[2][3]
With sister Clara Elizabeth, she emigrated to Australia in 1891, to join their brother James who had emigrated earlier and was now married with young family, living in Carlton in Sydney. Harriet and Clara both worked as seamstresses in Sydney. It is unknown why these two emigrated and none of their other siblings. They travelled on the ship "Austral", departing 27 February 1891, arriving in Sydney on 13 April 1891. [4][5]
She married Thomas Hope in Bexley, Sydney, New South Wales Australia, on 2 Jan 1895. In their wedding photo, Harriet and Thomas are on the left of the photo.[6]
Thomas was a coal miner from the Newcastle district, where they lived after their marriage. Around 1898-1899, they lived in Denniston, New Zealand, where Thomas worked in the coal mines there, and their first child Muriel was born there in January 1899. They returned to New South Wales in June 1899, where they lived in the coal mining areas, mainly Cessnock.
Their second child Enid was born in 1901, but only lived four months.
Around 1930, when the mine closed, Thomas was unemployed, and they lost their savings in a bank closure.
They then moved to Tomerong in the Shoalhaven area of New South Wales, and lived with Muriel and her family. Muriel and husband Horace were then operating the Tomerong General store. Thomas died in 1931, and Harriet continued to live with Muriel and her family, moving with them to a dairy farm at Wandandian (1939), Bomaderry (1952), and a dairy farm at Meroo Meadow (1958). As an accomplished dressmaker, Harriet made all the clothes for the family, and others, including the brides' and bridesmaids' gowns, for for the weddings of her two granddaughters Thelma and Enid, in 1950.
At the age of 103, she became a resident of the Chesalon Nursing Home in Woonona, near Wollongong, as her daughter, now in her 70's, was finding it difficult to care for Harriet at home. She became a much loved patient at the nursing home. She passed away in 1972, at the Nursing Home , aged 105 years old.[7]
She was buried beside her husband Thomas in the Nowra General Cemetery.[8]

My earliest memories of Harriet or "Gran" as she was called, as a young child, she was then in her 90's, and would tell us about coming out to Australia on the ship that had sails, and walking through the bush between Carlton, where her brother lived, and Bexley, in Sydney. Until she went into the nursing home, she lived with my grandparents, and spent her day sitting on their verandah watching the world go by, and talking to anyone who visited. She had a sharp mind, no sign of dementia, and remembered who we all were and what we were doing. At night she sat with my grandmother and watched TV, her favourite program was Bobby Limb's "Sound of Music" on a Friday night, as her eyesight started to let her down, she still loved listening to the songs. As kids, we thought she would live forever, she'd been around for so long, but she died when I was 20. Now I wish I'd asked her more about her family back in England, and who all the people were in the photos in her photo album, which she brought with her to Australia, and which I still have, also her Bible, and the reference given to her by the Church rector at Knightwick.
